Should the government tax stock buybacks?

Yes

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

No, the biggest beneficiary of stock buybacks are pension funds and mutual funds

No, there is no evidence that firms that engage in buybacks reduce their investments

I don't understand this topic enough to have much of a stance on the issue.

I don’t know what this means

I do not understand.

not enough knowledge

Buybacks I barely know her

No, because the money for stock buybacks has already been taxed.

Yes. Stock buybacks can inflate a company’s stock price even if its financial performance is low. This can persuade naive investors into buying shares for a company that is conflating its current financial reputation in a positive light with regard to the buybacks

No, conmpanies need their shares back for their benefit. Government should not tax from shares, but firms and households' own money to make sure each of them contribute the government's protection in return.

Government should determine the best way to appropriately tax all individuals and if this is even the best way to add revenue to the country's balance sheet. It should be taken into consideration with all other methods of taxation.

No - they should end the tyranny of the stock exchange all together so companies can run their business as they intended. They should provide open funding with proportional shares being distributed through a national pension program that is paid out via dividend.

its not a simple yes or no the question of whether the government should tax stock buybacks involves weighing different factors and considering various viewpoints.

I don't understand the question fully.

Yes, and raise taxes on all stocks purchased

I don't even know what that is.

I'd need to learn more about the topic before making a decision.

I am uneducated on this issue.

Cannot say

I'm unsure of the question.

Yes, all stock purchases should be taxed.

The government needs to stop taxing on ever! They are out of control!

No, only in the case of a distributed profits tax.

screw capitalism

Yes, all income should be taxed.

I don’t have a stance

No, but they should investigate the practice

Yes, but in the form of a reformed corporate tax code where there is no income tax and only a tax on distributions, including stock buybacks

No, except if the stocks are being bought back from the government following a bail-out

I don’t get it

not relevant

I am unknowledgeable on this topic

yes but it should only be allowed to a certain extent

yes but only if they are doing that instead of reinvesting

not informed enough for an opinion

I don't have a personal opinion on this subject.

Buybacks should be taxed if they hold a specific level of monetary value.

Yes, but at a low rate

Yes, but tax them at a low rate

I feel like if the company wants to buy back their stocks then it’s up to try to get them back at whatever monetary cost.

Not very well educated on this to give an opinion.

Too many big words that i don't understand

I do not have enough knowledge on this issue.

Less tax on stocks.

I don't understand this topic enough to pick an answer.
